ton which, after rehearsing the services of
the League in the republican party, and the
fact that the democratic party was placed in
power by the votes Of the solid South, stated
that ito secure free and fair elections it was
necessary for the republican party to cou-
troll both Houses of Congress and the Presi-
dency," and to accomplish that object it is
important, if not necessary, to increase the
republican strength in the Southern States.

A Bloody ARRAY.

ABILENE, Kan, March 2.--The Gazette's
special from Wallace says in regard to the
fight at Coronado: "A party of armed men
have started from here with coffins to bring
back the dead. The latest news from the
scene was to the effect that the dead bodies
were lying in the streets and the outlaws
would not permit any one to touch them
Further developments are expected to-mor-
row. The man Coulter is reported to have
had 81 bullets put into his body. He was a
desperate character. He has had brothers
who died with their boots on" one being
shot and the other lynched. That further
trouble will coma from the affair causing
more bloodshed may be surmised from the
fact that the Leoti men received an express
package this morning containing 5000 worth
of fire arms.n

IT Is understood that very important
new departure has been made in paper
manufacture, by the erection of works in
the neighborhood of London for the utiliza-
ton for that purpose of stable manure, &c.
The results obtained in this process are said
to be 30 satisfactory that, after due provi-
sion has been made for the value of the
chemical products of the materials employ
ed, the cost of producing the paper is next
to nothing. The matter is mentioned here
with all reserve, inasmuch as we have, as
yet, had no opportunity of making practi
cal observations, but it is manifest, that it
the results claimed to have been attained
are we'll founded, the paper manufacture is
on the eve of very important departure OF
an economic and Industrial character. 1t
NAV be added that Esparto grass is not so
much employed in this industry as former

wood pulp Ia America, the greater part
indeed, practically the whole-of the paper
manufactured is made from the latter com.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH ..

GENERAL WoLsELEY says General Lees
advice had been taken, an advance upon
Washington would have been made by the
Confederates immediately after the first
battle Of Manassas, and that that city would
have been captured This is what most
people acquainted with the condition OF
affairs in Washington, as we'll as in the Con-
federate army, knew at the time, and what
nearly all, except Genera Joseph r.
Johnston. know now. General Johnston,
still saws, however, that he assumes all the
responsibility for not making that advance
as he never heard of an army marching
across river mile wide and twenty feet
deep. aud says this, too, in the face OF the
fact that subsequently the army did march
across the same river several times, a few
miles above Washington, and though he
must know, if he be q regular reader OF the
North american Rerie,V, or il his acquaint-
auces in Washington have informed him oil
the situation there at the time referred to-
that the government was on wheels, and
that it and the few organized troops there

bridge, and that not Union soldier would

SENATE.
Mr.. Whitthorne, from the Committee on
Naval Affairs, reported back the Senate bill
to create naval reserve of auxiliary cruis-
ers. officers and men from the mercantile
marine.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Hoar authorizing the Committee on Privl'
leges and Elections to continue, during the
recess, the Texas investigation was adopted.
The Committee on Rules was also author
lied to sit during the recess.
The Senate then proceeded to the consld-
Grafton of House bills on the calendar, and
number were passed.
The Senate at one o'clock proceeded to
the consideration of the naval appropriation
bill.
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr.. Crisp, OF Georgia, the
rules were suspended and the Senate
amendments to the House joint resolution
for an investigation Of the accounts of the
Pacific railroads were non concurred in.
The House at an early hour resumed the
consideration of the conference report on
the fisheries retaliatory bill.
Mr.. Clements, of Georgia, made an earnest
appeal to the House to stand by the House
conferees. If the United States was going
to retaiate it should not confne that retail
alton to an inhibition against the importa-
ton of fish.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, said that the ma
iority of the House stood on broad Ameri-
can position and he had hoped that instead
of being criticized and censured by gentle.
men from New England those gentlemen
would be gratifed to find that there Yves
not man who would not make New Eng
lands cause his cauae. If it was local
squabble let them squabble it out for them
selves. But when gentlemen brought this
question to Congress it became a question
between Great Britain and the United
States. Was is true that the almighty dol
lar" had such hold upon the hearts and
souls of the men who managed the railroads
that they were not willing to make the
cause OF America their cause, lest they might
lose a little money? Was it true that the
power Of corporations had become 80 great
that they could call halt to the American
Congress when it wanted the whole peo-
pie of the United States to take the cause
of the New England fishermen into their
hands and settle it by showing Great Brit
ain and Canada that we are not to be
trfied with? he hoped that the House
would stand by its bill and not
yield one jot or title. Mr.. Daniel
appealed to the House and to every
democrat to stand by the Chief Mag
istrate, not because he was democrat, but
because he was the representative of the
nation and deserved and ought to receive
unstinted confidence in this controversy.
